Directory structure with Elixir/Phoenix

Hi everyone :wave: I’m excited to share an article detailing how we have reorganized our Elixir/Phoenix project’s directory structure.

While the Phoenix documentation provides a basic project structure example, our real estate startup has grown over three years, and our backend structure has become inconsistent and messy due to various developers adding features without a cohesive plan.

So in this article, I talk about the decision process we put in place, the iterative process we followed, the mistakes we avoided, and the final proposal chosen. I also talk about my mistakes over the past few years, and how I’m growing as a young tech lead.

I hope this will interest some of you :blush:

This looks like a Vertical Slice Architecture folder structure, right? :slight_smile:

Oh I didn’t know that has a name, so maybe. I’ll read about “Vertical Slice Architecture folder structure”–thank’s for the share.
